Pull the needles all the way out and flush with some fuel and check for dirt or debrie in them. You might want to disassemble the carb and clean it out if that doesn't help.

Bogging is a air leak in the carborator. You said you took the carb of and put it back on. You disturbed the seals. This rusults is poor Idle'stalling and low rpm. Other problem is the oil mix.

All symtoms point to a air leak in the carb or gas tank. replace with a new carb repair kit. The oil mix will start to cause problems soon.

I knew it was the carb. All you needed was a carb kit (less than $10). Cheaper than a new carb. The problem will haunt you again unless you know exactly what was the problem was first.
